Nintendo Writes Book Full of Old Childhood Memories

Right on the heels of Nintendo's announcement of the new NES Classic retro console, the company is releasing another piece video game nostalgia. Playing With Power: Nintendo NES Classics is a book from publisher Prima Games that will be sure to hit you right in the childhood.

The book features retrospectives on seventeen classic NES games, like Super Mario Bros 3, Donkey Kong, and The Legend of Zelda. These games started franchises that have lasted for decades, so it's nice to see Nintendo reflecting on the games that started everything.

In addition, the book will contain interviews with the creators of these classics, hand drawn maps and character art, and clippings from old issues of Nintendo Power.

And the pièce de résistance is that the whole thing is shaped like an old NES cartridge.

If you're a Nintendo superfan and you want to own this magnificent collection, the book is available for preorder for $26.99, which is a bargain for what it offers.
